Mockduck Posted November 30, 2022 Author Share Posted November 30, 2022 Highly unlikely, it is almost certainly the Walnut that will be received. They haven't had the Teak front panels since the launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Friend Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I suspect you are right. I asked on their contact page anyway but doubt they reply fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLEABttn Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Ordered the all in bundle and the PC Mode USB drive. The PC Mode USB stick oversold so some people are going to get cancellation for that item in your order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have to research it. Scalpers buy it when there are no restrictions and resell it. As a Canadian, I cannot buy it. Atari isn't selling to anyone outside the U.S.A. Therefore I cannot be a scalper even if I wanted to be one. Are you following me yet???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.A.P. Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Darn looks like I missed the sale. I guess that's what I get for having to work all last week and then forgetting to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Anyone know if Atari will have a redo sale pre/post Xmas? I def wouldve picked one up for $240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrZarniwoop Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 https://atari.com/products/atari-vcs-onyx-all-in Other VCS items are also on sale, such as extra controllers. The entire list here: https://atari.com/collections/holiday-2022 The online Atari VCS store does not seem to have any games for sale yet. Perhaps soon?

I'm a fan of the "new" 2022 Atari, it's unrecognizable from the "zombie" years of only leveraging the intellectual property, and it feels better now than when it was launching the VCS at PS/Xbox price-points. Perhaps it's simply learned some humility? $240 for an indie-focused game console with two controllers, including the retro-innovative classic controller, is a fantastic deal made better that it's also one of the better mini PCs. Plus, soon (hopefully) it can natively run Atari 50, the game that made me stop and realize the "new" 2022 Atari was capable of getting things very right. I'm eagerly anticipating the homebrew app mentioned on discord. I'm not sure about the strategy around re-releasing $99 Atari 2600 library cartridges with LED lighting, but I bought the Atari XP previously-unreleased 2600 cartridges at the $49 price point. And after they were assembled incorrectly and with errors, appreciated the shipped fixes and compensation with badges and pins. The goodwill cemented it for me. I never would have really given the VCS a chance if it wasn't for that mea culpa from Atari. In short, the new Atari finally feels like it's trying to make things both for the childhood nostalgia crowd that's about 50ish and also trying to build for a new audience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrZarniwoop Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) I’m not clear on the level of discounts, but it appears that perhaps everything is discounted in the Atari VCS online store right now? I think I’m seeing 12-20% off depending on the game. UPDATE: “SALE” items 20% off just fine, including a few new ones from Black Friday. Other items marked 12% off (like Sydney Hunter for 8.79) are being charged full price (9.99 in this case). Only realized when reading email confirmations.

zzip Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I went in there this morning just to see if Atari 50 dropped and noticed some games were on sale that weren't yesterday. I don't remember them all, but I recall 'Heroes of Loot', 'Atari Mania', 'Sigi', 'Sir Lovelot' was among them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm eagerly anticipating the homebrew app mentioned on discord. It's more that Sony and Microsoft sell tens of millions of consoles so they get unbeatable volume discounts from AMD. When PS5 launched, I tried to build out PC with equivalent capabilities and performance on PC-part picker and it was around $1700-1800 for a complete system. That just shows how underpriced the PS5/Xbox are for what they offer. So if you're Atari and planning for volumes of well under a hundred thousand VCSes by all accounts- you can't match Sony/Microsoft or even Nintendo on price and performance. It's two years old now so it's bound to come down in price. I do agree Atari's been doing cool things recently. The new CEO has been saying the right things. We'll see what happens once the 50th anniversary year is over though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NISMOPC Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 50% OFF for first 50 buyers. Just thought someone would be interested before they sell out. 50-50-50 – Atari® 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 Probably the best deal we will see in a while, would be surprised if the price hit this low prior to Black Friday 2023. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraffitiTavern Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Very well might pull the trigger on this, under $200 is a really good deal. No idea what I'd use a speakerhat for but hey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_JaguarVCS Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Ended up picking one of these up as I now have a family member living in the states who’s willing to ship it out to me here in the UK! No idea what I’ll do with it as it’ll be my 4th VCS I own but I couldn’t resist at the price and the speaker hat looks really cool. I don’t think these will be around much longer might just keep it boxed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NISMOPC Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I was fortunate enough to get my black walnut bundle from MicroCenter (in-store) for $149.99 a while back and my Black Onyx bundle from GameStop (online order) for $99 earlier this year. Black one is still boxed. Doubt you'll see those prices again. This 50/50 deal is well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.A.P. Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) Even though I already had one, I was a dummy and decided to buy one of these bundles. I have a problem. Edited December 30, 2022 by T.A.P. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
